Chapter 8: What are the Three Nos?

Zhao Izumi has his own persistence and bottom line, although more than 20,000 yuan is a huge temptation. But people have to be able to restrain their desires, a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in the anthill, you must stifle this desire from the beginning, otherwise after a long time, you will be slowly eaten away by desire, and finally fall at the feet of your own desire one day.

In the afternoon, Zhao Izushi and the fool Erfat both took half a day off, but the salary was still paid, at least for now, Lao Wang didn't dare to give birth to any moths. The fool Erfat took the money and didn't know where he went, Zhao Izumi didn't bother to pay attention to it, and asked Han Sanqiang to take him to the nearest postal savings bank, sitting in the postal hall, Zhao Izumi thought about it, and finally decided to keep 200 yuan for himself, and remit all the remaining 28,000 yuan to Li Qingyi, this is the promise of him and Li Qingyi, and it is also the condition for Li Qingyi to promise to continue to stay in Phoenix Village.

Who would understand that the unknown migrant workers on a certain construction site in this city still have such an ideal of spring and snow, and call this an ideal.

He carries the most vulgar ideas and earns more money. Going out of the mountains and breaking into the city is more for himself, but for the twenty or so children to be able to go to school, to be able to go out of the mountains one day, to see the wonderful world outside the mountains, and to change their fate with knowledge, instead of being like Xiao Ping'an, there is no such opportunity again. It may sound fanciful, he has nothing to do with those children except that they were born in the same village, but this is what motivates a Diao people to survive in this city.

Zhao Izumi lowered his head and calculated his money-saving plan, he only spent a total of 300 yuan in the two months he came to Xi'an, and the money he brought out was 400, and he didn't need to spend money on food and housing, all of which were solved on the construction site.

Han Sanqiang watched Zhao Izumi remit 2,800 yuan out of Lu, and only kept 200 for himself, he didn't understand why Zhao Izumi wanted to do this, maybe his family was more difficult. After Zhao came out, Han Sanqiang kindly reminded, "Brother Zhao, you let the family get a card, so that it is convenient for you to make money, and it is also convenient for them to withdraw money."

Zhao Izumi thought about it and felt that this method was quite reliable, and said with a smile, "I'll tell her about it later."

Han Sanqiang nodded happily, looking like a dog, his month's salary was all about eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and never kept it for his family, to be honest, it was a bit of a crime.

"By the way, Sanqiang, how can there be a public phone here, I'll make a call" Zhao Izumi came back to his senses and asked, except for him and the fool Erfat on the construction site, the rest of the people have mobile phones, and the worst ones are old Nokia.

Han Sanqiang hurriedly patted his ass and said, "Brother Zhao, what kind of public phone are you looking for, just use my mobile phone to call, it can cost a lot of money, it's not enough for me to buy you a pack of cigarettes"

"Forget it, let's find a public phone, I'm not used to using a mobile phone" Zhao Izushi is not unaccustomed to using a mobile phone, it is that he has never used a mobile phone at all, he didn't think about buying the cheapest old Nokia mobile phone they recommended, a hundred yuan, but he thought that he still had to apply for a card, and he had to have a monthly rent, etc., so he retreated, the most important thing is that he has a mobile phone except for calling Phoenix Village, and he can't think of anyone to call, and calling Phoenix Village can only be after remitting money every month, usually he really doesn't dare to call and talk to Li Qingyi.

Han Sanqiang smiled awkwardly, feeling that Zhao Izumi still treated him as an outsider, and he didn't insist, so he took Zhao Izumi to find a public phone. The boss is a big man who picks his feet, asking the market or long-distance, Zhao Izumi said long-distance, the big man who picks his feet immediately pointed to the red landline next to him and said let's fight, five cents a minute, Zhao Izumi scolded in his heart that it was really black enough, and finally bargained to Sanmao, and the two of them came and went to make Han Sanqiang embarrassed.

The phone number Zhao Izumi remembers very clearly, only the school has a phone in the entire Phoenix Village, and this phone is still the old village chief's house, and he finally found someone to move to the school, all in order to keep the school's only teacher, Li Qingyi.

Zhao Izui's hand holding the phone couldn't help sweating, a little nervous, the phone beeped Zhao Izui's heart jumped, this was the first time he called Li Qingyi since he came out of the mountain for two months, Zhao Izumi was full of emotion. After a dozen beeps, the phone was finally connected, and Zhao Izuxi, who had singled out Han Sanqiang and his gang before, was too frightened to speak at the moment.

Thousands of miles away in Fenghuang Village, a woman in ordinary short-sleeved and jeans held the phone in her hand, crying and laughing, how could she not know who made the call?

"It's been two months, Zhao Izu, are you finally willing to call me?" The woman who wore a ponytail without makeup but couldn't hide her temperament said this deliberately, but Zhao Izumi still had no temper and didn't dare to speak, and the woman said unhappily, "Zhao Izumi, is this still you?" You're not afraid to talk to me. If you don't talk anymore, then I'll hang up."

Zhao Izumi hurriedly replied, "Don't hang up, three cents a minute."

"Listen to the voice, it's alive, it's not dead, it's good," the woman said angrily.

Zhao Izumi cried and said with a sad face: "You are so looking forward to my death? ”

"To the point, three cents a minute," the woman said in a serious tone in Zhao Izui's tone.

Zhao took a deep breath and said, "I'm not in Xining, something happened to Xining, I'm in Xi'an now, working at a construction site, with a salary of 3,000 a month, and the foreman sees me working hard, and I will receive a salary increase next month, and I can get 4,000." I will pay your salary today, and I will remit two thousand eight to you, and I will keep two hundred for myself."

"Xi'an? Ok, better suited for you than Xining. didn't disappoint me, I chose a job that was tiring but not low-paying, you have to go to the restaurant to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, how much will I despise you, you are different from others, you have to understand what you are carrying, keep two hundred a month, is it enough to spend? The woman didn't ask what happened in Xining, but only about the current situation.

"Food, drink and housing are all on the construction site, enough flowers," Zhao Izumi scratched his head and replied.

The woman didn't continue to ask, she was silent, and Zhao Izumi was also silent, and the two didn't know what to say for a while.

The woman asked, "What else do you have to say?" If not, I'll hang up"

Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "Is everything good in the village?" ”

"It's all right"

"Are you thinking about me?"

"No, it's all said that one less harm"

"Oh, are there any disobedient bunnies in those little bunnies, and if they don't obey, say I'll come back and beat them"

"No, all obedient"

Silent......

"Anything else?"

"You run a long bank card, call this mobile phone when the money is received, and tell me the card number by the way, I will call your card directly next time" Zhao Izumi immediately reported Han Sanqiang's mobile phone number to the woman.

"Good"

"Gone"

"That's hanging"

"Good"

The woman said hang up, and there was already a blind tone on the phone, but Zhao Izuxi's hand holding the phone never let go, until the big man scolded angrily and said Hurry up and pay and leave after the fight, don't delay my business.

On the way back with Han Sanqiang, Zhao Izumi was a little confused, feeling that he hadn't seen him for two months, and the relationship between him and Li Qingyi was a little rusty, which made him a little depressed, but looking back, what is the difference between being unfamiliar and not being unfamiliar?

And Han Sanqiang had a meal in the Sichuan restaurant outside the construction site as a treat for himself, spent fifty or sixty yuan, Han Sanqiang bought a few boxes of cigarettes for the two, Zhao Izumi just took a bunch of expired newspapers on the construction site all afternoon, lying in the simple pig's nest on the sixteenth floor in a daze to read the newspaper, the newspaper is the only way he can understand the city and this world, every day after eating at noon and every night, Zhao Izumi is to pass the time with these newspapers, nearly two months, stunned to read a few dozen thick old newspapers.

In the evening, the fool Erfat, who had disappeared for half a day, came back, and the more than 20,000 yuan he was carrying in his hand had long since disappeared, and the fool Erfat, who still looked a little small after changing his clothes, walked straight to Zhao Izui, and smiled in Zhao Izui's hesitant eyes, "Izumi, go"

After speaking, he didn't care whether Zhao Izumi followed him or not, he turned around and left. Zhao Izumi put down the newspaper, put on his clothes, and followed behind. The fool and the second fat look in a good mood today, laughing very happily, laughing when they meet people, Zhao Izumi and the fool and the second fat walk together, everywhere they go, it is Brother Zhao Linge, which makes Zhao Izumi a little pretended, he is really worried that if the fool and the second fat are not there one day, will these people play him to death, he shuddered when he thought of this.

Along the way, Zhao Izumi asked something, and the fool and the fat man didn't speak. The two of them left the construction site and turned right to the ring road, kept walking forward, and turned left outside the Peace Gate five minutes later and entered the Peace Gate, until they were close to an old-fashioned community under the city wall of the Peace Gate, Zhao Izumi and Er Fat did not stop.

In the community, I turned around to a unit that had been demolished and went upstairs, the corridor was pitch black, Zhao Izumi could only follow closely behind, the sixth floor stopped, the fool Erfat pushed open the door on the right hand, and the light was bright in an instant, and Zhao Izumi saw an unexpected person.

That is in the morning under the archway outside the Peace Gate, if no one is humming the Peking Opera "Shilang Visits the Mother" embroidered Shu embroidery Su embroidery grandmother, for a moment, Zhao Izumi was stunned in place.

The fool Erpang pointed at Zhao Izumi and said to the old grandmother, "Grandma, Izumi"

Zhao Izumi was even more shocked, this Lafayette wearing a well-cut coarse linen dress was actually a foolish and fat grandmother, and her life was so dramatic.

"It's a surprise, Izumi" The old lady had already prepared a sumptuous dinner in front of her, with fish and meat, all the color, flavor and taste, at least it seemed to make people quite appetizing, and asked calmly.

Zhao Izumi smiled bitterly and nodded.

The old lady smiled and said interestingly, "If you can meet me in the morning, it is because I intend to meet you, and also to see if there is fate between us. You have a relationship with Sanwu, this child, and you want to come and I are not bad."

Zhao Izumi became more and more full of doubts.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Sit down, it's all home-cooked food, let Sanwu invite you over, don't be restrained, just be my grandmother."

Zhao Izumi sat down stupidly, and when he looked at the fool Erfat, the fool Erfat stopped laughing, and was sitting precariously waiting for the meal, and Zhao Izumi took the time to look at the whole room. Ordinary and clean, except for some necessities of life, the most eye-catching thing is the bookshelf with his back against the entire wall, which is full of books, dense, Zhao Izumi seems to have discovered a new continent, his eyes are difficult to leave, in addition to the bookshelf, there is also an erhu leaning against the bookshelf, full of history.

"The matter between you and Sanwu, grandma already knows the way, you are a good boy, otherwise grandma will not let you enter this door, one day you will know the way, what does it mean for you to enter the door of the Lin family today, it's not that grandma is talking big, it's just that we make a bet." The old lady's aura is strong, as Zhao Izumi said, every word has its own momentum, and the atmosphere is completely controlled by the old lady, Zhao Izumi just listened.

"From now on, this will be your home, come often. What do you want to eat, grandma will make it for you, you treat Sanwu as a brother, grandma naturally can't see outside, and treat you as a grandson, the person who has been brought home by Sanwu over the years, you are the first" The old lady continued "Okay, don't be stunned, I'm not an old witch who eats people, the food is cold, eat it quickly"

Zhao Izumi didn't move the chopsticks yet, the fool and the second fat started first, the old lady was very skilled in adjusting the atmosphere, and she said some trivial things about the fool and the second fat, and then Zhao Izumi slowly let go, and like Lin Sanwu, he began to storm the clouds, competing for food, and the old lady saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart. It is indeed the old lady's exquisite meal, which is completely comparable to the chef's level.

After eating, the old lady embroidered, casually let the fool Erfat pull an erhu, the fool Erfat picked up the erhu, sat on the edge of the balcony with a clear eye, the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed, calm and sophisticated, a majestic righteousness between the eyebrows, took a deep breath, and the fool Erfat began to enter his own world.

Zhao Izuxi, who hasn't heard much erhu music, can't tell what kind of song this is, but feels that the taste is very complicated, and it is not something he can understand at all, but the melody and rhythm are good.

Nothing to do, Zhao Izumi got up and went to look through those books with great interest, from top to bottom, suddenly Zhao Izumi turned to a Buddhist scripture that was once very familiar, the old monk often recited the "Lengyan Sutra", Zhao Izumi seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked back at the fool Erfat, with an incredible face.

"Lengyan Sutra" has a cloud of 'great compassion without tears, great understanding without words, great laughter without sound', and the Lin family has no ......
